   * sync dpkg and aptitude holds
   * a way to keep build-deps installed without metapackages for each source package
   * make apt not forget its brain when there are hash mismatches

Line 44: Line 178:
Cool software/stuff that I saw on blogs/elsewhere and thought should be in Debian at some point. Note that it isn't nessecarily stuff I would use, just that the people who might would appreciate it a lot. This was festering in my ~/TODO so I decided it needed airing out.

Cool software/stuff that I saw on blogs/elsewhere and thought should be in Debian or [[MergeDerivedDistributions#DebianUnsupported|Debian Unsupported]] at some point. Note that it isn't necessarily stuff I would use, just that the people who might would appreciate it a lot. This was festering in my ~/TODO so I decided it needed airing out. I've moved the list of links into [[PaulWise/InterestingSoftware|an interesting software subpage]].

Portfolio

For more information about my involvement in Debian, please see my portfolio page. Below is some more information that is not available from my portfolio page.

contrib/non-free

I use the following packages from Debian contrib/non-free (and their deps):

  • Hardware enablement: intel-microcode firmware-iwlwifi firmware-realtek firmware-misc-nonfree
  • GFDL GNU documentation: gcc-doc gdb-doc make-doc tar-doc
  • Tor Browser: torbrowser-launcher onionshare
  • Web services: translate-shell

Goals

wishlist

  • comms:
  • merge unofficial tools and services into official services/systems

  • merge debian-ports mirror stuff into the Debian mirror stuff <1455925978.3531.43.camel@debian.org>

  • web stuff: replace all contact information with a link to www.d.o/contact to ensure people don't annoy various aliases with user support questions
  • general, per-distribution mechanism to list releases and their URLs/order/support/etc. This should replace all the hardcoding of release names in various places. (761348)

  • ending the tyranny of unix permissions/groups - move more projects to collab-maint
  • better general, per-release and per-package communication mechanisms with Debian users.
  • get rid of templates in various places and replace them with forms that must be filled out. Known: reportbug mentors-rfs-template
  • automated sentiment analysis to find out about community/individual satisfaction

  • DEP-11 component search on packages.d.o
  • polls infrastructure
  • a way for manual pages to be autodownloaded

  • convince all upstreams to switch from Flash to ?JavaScript, purge all .swf/.fla files and software for building from Debian

  • convince all upstreams to stop parsing /proc/cpuinfo

  • move to using www.debian.org as the source location for dents/tweets and produce feeds for import into various social networks
  • better workflows for Debian press releases and DPN
  • a mirrorbrain instance for ISO image redirecting
  • better ways for users to get a copy of Debian
  • generation of source code indexes for offline code searching
  • map information flow from every file in a source package to every file in binary packages
  • reduce and track static linking

  • reduce and track embedded code and data copies

  • reduce and track hardcoded release names, versions and architectures

  • reduce and mitigate general and repository vulnerabilities

  • reduce non-reproducible builds (inc build arch variation)
  • reduce non-multi-arch libraries
  • reduce non-cross-buildable packages
  • reduce privacy-violating packages
  • reduce packages causing freedom issues

  • refocus DebConf and Debian funding on regular donations by individuals

  • d-i:
    • get rid of the concept of default desktops
    • more integration of Debian blends
    • support for touchscreen-only and mobile devices
    • OEM mode
    • tell you about freedom issues with whatever you are running Debian on (hardware, hypervisor, kernel etc)
      • post-install for OEM mode
    • options for checking the hardware - memtest86+ badblocks etc
    • make debootstrap apt-mark auto everything except what it installs
  • dpkg/apt/aptitude:
    • Supersedes to get rid of transition packages
    • allow packages to register files as belonging to them
    • a mode where packages can be generically-configured but not configured for specific machines (useful for OEM/Live images, OpenSSH keys for eg are machine-specific and should not be in OEM/Live images).
    • integration with debdelta
    • sync dpkg and aptitude holds
    • a way to keep build-deps installed without metapackages for each source package
    • make apt not forget its brain when there are hash mismatches
    • build-depends on source packages
    • architecture wildcards for linux-all, kfreebsd-all, etc for things that could be built once but only work on specific kernels.
    • ways to direct/encourage user donations to upstreams/Debian
    • cut down packages/sources per blend in dists
    • cut down packages/sources per non-free section in dists
    • option to be silent so that postinst errors are more visible (288778)

  • deployment
    • automatically build one Flatpak for each Debian binary packages as an easier alternative to backports, dependencies and the app itself go into a per-binary-package runtime and some symlinks go into the app
    • automatically build other types of containers
  • remove Debian-specific stuff
    • menu
    • port aptitude/synaptic/etc to PackageKit

    • split branding into separate packages
  • QA
    • add more to UDD
    • base more services on UDD
    • revive mole, reimplement DACA in mole and add more tests

    • infra for a "QA cloud" based on donating CPU time
    • source package search based on LXR/OpenGrok/etc
    • automated detection of embedded code copies (CloneWise)

    • revive DDPO-by-mail
    • survey use of QA infra by Debian contributors
    • fix upstream check situation
    • unified dynamic infrastructure instead of daily-built and split up into multiple interfaces
    • merge bts-link into debbugs
    • use distromatch to link to patches, bugs etc from other distributions
    • export sponsor info into mentors.d.n sources
    • bapase to pts
    • mole to pts
    • compare upstream VCS repositories to tarballs
  • release
    • reduce the impact of the freeze on development
    • mail people when their packages do not migrate instead of when they do
    • oldstable security support until stable+1 release
    • clarify/obsolete the conflation between bug severity and RC-ness
    • support information in Release files and user notification
    • transition staging areas
  • revive package promotion/reviews and promote them from packages.d.o (543343)

  • figure out a solution for dotfile insanity
  • delete obsolete files from ~/ on package upgrade/removal
  • debconf:
    • use audio source speaker separation (like manyears) to separate and re-mix conference audio

    • use transparent slides to overlay speaker's text on speaker's video
    • microphone drones to capture more of the audience questions
    • a virtual DebConf every 3/6 months

    • something like FUDcon, which is a *users* conference more than a dev one
    • talk accessibility for deaf/blind attendees

yay!

Things I wanted that are done!
